    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for three months since I asked this Question the Ministry has prevaricated; it has circumlocuted; it has ducked; it has taken every possible effort to avoid making a commitment. Meanwhile, 18,000 young Kenyans from Budalangi to Kinango, Loitokitok to Wajir are waiting to know their fate from this Ministry unequivocally, without prevarication. You can see the mood of this House confirming that yesterday they passed a Report of the Budget Committee unanimously. The mood here is indicative that any legislative measure brought to this House in the form of the Appropriation Bill to actualize the intent in the Budget Committee Report will sail through this House, so that this is implemented. On the strength of Article 221(6) of the Constitution which makes that whole process a given thing if passed by this House, could this Assistant Minister, therefore, simply expressly, directly and equivocally without prevarication, give a commitment to these 18,000 Kenyans that, indeed, they shall be employed on permanent and pensionable terms within this financial year? This House has already indicated the intent to have them so absorbed as soon as these funds are with the Ministry. Could he place that commitment on record?"
